Student Programs and Services Fee

The Student Programs and Services Fee (SPSF) was created in accordance with the Board
of Trustees’ “Policy on a Student Programs and Services Fee” adopted on June 19, 2014.
The Student Programs and Services Fee replaced the former University Programs and
Services Fee previously authorized by the Board of Trustees on August 18, 1971.

The purpose of the SPSF is to advance the University’s educational mission by funding
non-instructional services, activities, programs, and facilities that promote student
satisfaction and retention or promote the intellectual, physical, emotional, social,
cultural, or leadership development of students.
